Below The Surf

Description

For many lovers of the Hawaiian Islands, there are few sights more thrilling than a powerful wave crashing on a sunny day. But below the turbulence there is a calm, serene world of life with a beauty all its own. Wyland calls attention to these two worlds in his painting, Below the Surf. “I can sit on the beach for hours and watch waves break,” he says. “But as a diver I’m always thinking about what’s going on below the surface, whether it’s a pod of dolphins or the countless reef fish that seem to be going about their business, no matter what’s happening above.”
